Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 237 / Monday, December 11, 2006 / Notices
sunset reviews of the antidumping duty
orders on stainless steel butt–weld pipe
fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the
Philippines pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 91 (January
3, 2006) and Stainless Steel Butt–Weld
Pipe Fittings From Italy, Malaysia, and
the Philippines, 71 FR 140 (January 3,
2006). As a result of its review, the
Department found that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and notified the Commission
of the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail if the orders were revoked.
Steel Butt–Weld Pipe Fittings from Italy,
Malaysia, and the Philippines; Final
Results of the Expedited Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping
Duty Orders, 71 FR 26748 (May 8, 2006).
On October 31, 2006, the Commission
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on stainless
steel butt–weld pipe fittings from Italy,
Malaysia, and the Philippines would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time. See Certain Stainless
Steel Butt–Weld Pipe Fittings From Italy,
Malaysia, and the Philippines, 71 FR
67904 (November 24, 2006), and USITC
Publication 3889 (November 2006) (Inv.
Nos. 731–TA–865–867 (Review)).

Scope of the Orders
For purposes of these orders, the
product covered is certain stainless steel
butt–weld pipe fittings (butt–weld
fittings). Butt–weld pipe fittings are
under 14 inches in outside diameter
(based on nominal pipe size), whether
finished or unfinished. The product
encompasses all grades of stainless steel
and ‘‘commodity’’ and ‘‘specialty’’
fittings. Specifically excluded from the
definition are threaded, grooved, and
bolted fittings, and fittings made from
any material other than stainless steel.
The butt–weld fittings subject to these
orders are generally designated under
specification ASTM A403/A403M, the
standard specification for Wrought
Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping
Fittings, or its foreign equivalents (e.g.,
DIN or JIS specifications). This
specification covers two general classes
of fittings, WP and CR, of wrought
austenitic stainless steel fittings of
seamless and welded construction
covered by the latest revision of ANSI
B16.9, ANSI B16.11, and ANSI B16.28.
Butt–weld fittings manufactured to
specification ASTM A774, or its foreign
equivalents, are also covered by these
orders.

These orders do not apply to cast
fittings. Cast austenitic stainless steel
pipe fittings are covered by
specifications A351/A351M, A743/
743M, and A744/A744M.
The butt–weld fittings subject to these
orders are currently classifiable under
subheading 7307.23.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the Commission
that revocation of these antidumping
duty orders would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty orders on stainless
steel butt–weld pipe fittings from Italy,
Malaysia, and the Philippines.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect antidumping
duty deposits at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise from all manufacturers and
exporters of stainless steel butt–weld
pipe fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and
the Philippines. The effective date of
continuation of these orders is the date
of publication in the Federal Register of
this Notice of Continuation. The
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of these antidumping
orders not later than 30 days prior to the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
These sunset reviews and this
continuation notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) of the Act. This
notice is published pursuant to 777(i) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
